Dosen't work for me :(   
Hi there...

I tryed all the replys here, None works for me.

I run on a Windows 7 64-bit
Geforce GTX-285 1 GDDR5
8 GB DDR3 1600 Ram

The Dungeon Keeper Edition i have i think it's the Silver and installs the patch 1.7 at Intsllation.

So no need to update it after install.

The Problem is The Famus "Black" screen but Menus are there incl the bar adn all that.

I tryed to disable the Hardware Acc. in Options in the game, and accept the new settings by clicking the yes Icon. 

but still black screen. The DirctX Driver says Primary Display Driver. 

Then if i click inside the Options again, the mark at Hardware Acc. is still there, like it never toke it of.???

Help me please, Really miss this game..
